December 25, 1966

George and his daughter had just finished their breakfast and were getting themselves prepared to head back to Abbey Road Studios. As they wore their coats, boots, and other winter gear, Laura said, "I'm so excited to take part in the Christmas message with you and my uncles for the first time, daddy George! This is gonna be a real treat." George replied, "So am I, Laura, darling! Even more exciting is that we will be doing our veddy own version of a certain classic, audio drama style! Of course, this was John's idea, and you can thank him for it afterwards." Laura replied, "Oh, how lovely! I'll certainly be keeping that in mind." George responded with a smile and a chuckle. He then took another look at the engagement ring for a while (which he had bought at the start of this month) and gently kissed it. Before long, they drove off, fetched Pattie from her flat, and were on their way to the Studios.

80smusiclover1 Our friends' roles are: John - Ebenezer Scrooge George - Bob Cratchit Paul - Jacob Marley Ringo - The Ghost of Christmas Present Pattie - Emily Cratchit Laura - Tori Cratchit (Aside from being a genderswapped Tiny Tim, her name is a reference to the original book's time period) Keep your eyes peeled for some familiar faces as the adaptation unfolds! 😉

BingoPB I'm looking forward to it. This is going to be amazing.

60smusicluv Indeed.

RetroRock64 Yeah, yeah, yeah!

Roldan13 I can totally see Ringo as the Ghost of Christmas Present.

RocknRollSoul60 I can see that as well.

Peaceandlove67 Indeed. I think this is a great casting choice.

80smusiclover1 Thank you. I thought so, too.

Rubyrings I was just wondering if Laura was going to do the Tiny Tim role! So is the engagement ring one George wears for himself to show that he's engaged, or is it the one he's planning to give to Pattie?

80smusiclover1 To answer that question of yours, yes, it is the latter!

A New Father and Home At Last

The day after the tour's last concert, everyone rode the bus back to London. The other Beatles were very happy for George and Laura after they told them about their fantastic news, and they wished them all the best for it. Once they made it back to the capital, the two proceeded to an adoption center. There, George got the necessary papers and filled them up. The whole process was a success, and they went out of the building triumphantly. George said, "This is it, Laura! You are now officially my daughter!" She added, "And you are now officially my daddy!" He replied,...

George's Wonderful Announcement

The Beatles continued to enjoy their tour around the country, and Laura continued to watch them from backstage and dance to their music. When it finally reached its last stop in Liverpool, George exclaimed, "Welcome to our birthplace, Laura!" She remarked, "Oh, wow! It's lovely here." John said, "Yes, and this is the perfect place to conclude our tour." Paul and Ringo nodded in agreement. They then walked to their hotel and got settled in their rooms. George decided to pay his parents and siblings a visit and introduce Laura to them before dinner. They welcomed...

To The Rescue!

"Let me go! What do you think you're doing?!", shouted Laura as the hooded figures took her to the woods. They eventually did so and revealed themselves to be her poor excuse for grandparents. Her grandfather said in a heartless tone, "So, you don't like being in the orphanage, eh? What a stupid girl you are." She replied, "You are so sick! How could you treat your only granddaughter like this? You forced me to quit school and sent me there as a shameful excuse to blame me for my parents' deaths!" Her grandmother responded, "Well, you distracted them." Laura replied angrily, "I...

Kidnapped!

On the next day, the group decided to do some sightseeing around the city. George gave Laura another ride on his shoulders so that she could see the grand buildings more clearly. As they walked, he said, "Y'know something, Laura, darling? I've also been feeling happier since I met you." She replied, "That's wonderful, daddy George!" He remarked, "Yes, it is, love!" Paul added, "That makes all four of us. You are such a joy to be around, Laura." John and Ringo nodded in agreement. This made her feel really good both on the inside and outside. Later at 6:00 pm, they returned to get...
